“Green muscle disease — which is also called ischemic myopathy, deep pectoral myopathy, or green breast — is a condition that develops in larger chickens or turkeys when their pectoral muscles are overdeveloped, becoming too large for the blood supply to reach that region”
I keep telling my wife that these chicken breasts are from mutant chickens. I always by the smaller , local ones from the butcher.
“So your chicken sprouted nanomechanical legs and assimilated your family into the Borg collective. This is normal!”
Jealous chickens.
My only recent complaint is that they started putting them in a cruddy plastic bag rather than the plastic tray at my local Costco (nationwide as well?). The bag is rather stiff and isn’t very convenient. Getting the bird out was cumbersome and extra messy.
I’ve been astounded at the size of the chicken breasts I’ve seen in the stores the last couple years.
When the grocery store has fryers on sale, buy a bunch and freeze them. There is not much that is easier than roasting a whole chicken in the oven.
Take it out of the freezer. Let it thaw for day or two. Sprinkle your desired seasoning on it, throw it in the oven for 2-1/2 hours and then eat it. It ain’t rocket science.
“Oh, but I want it for when I get home from work”. Roast it after dinner (done before bed time) and put it in the frig for the next day.
Was it a SPRING chicken?
Where do they think Dr. Seuss got his green eggs?
